Abstract
A Lagrangian is defined that governs the dynamics of a classical electron with spin, moving under the influence of electromagnetic forces. The Euler–Lagrange equations associated with this Lagrangian for space-time position xα provide a generalization of the Lorentz force law. The remaining Euler–Lagrange equations lead directly to the (generalized) Frenkel–Thomas–BMT equations.Keywords
